Strategy #2: Be The Boss Of You

It just means you have to pay estimated taxes instead of “your boss” taking care of the payroll.

And if you’re afraid it’s too hard to get clients don’t worry, there are ways around that.

Upwork and Fiverr are two of the big-time online platforms that do most of the heavy lifting for you.

Can I tell you a little story about the guy who installed my counters?

For many years he was a tile setter, putting up ads all over the place to get work. He did a few jobs, put up more ads, made some calls to clients, did a few jobs…you get the idea. Well, he got tired of spending so much time trying to get clients and dealing with people on the phone. So one day, when he was so burned out doing the same old crap, he snagged a long-standing gig with a local kitchen counter installation company. Now all his work is handed to him. All the marketing, customer calls and arrangements are done by the parent company.

That’s what it’s like with Upwork and Fiverr. You get to pick the projects you want to work on without having to do the yucky stuff. And the best part: NO PHONE CALLS !

A Bit About Getting Work On Upwork

Upwork is a simple platform to use but you have to be sure to set up a clear and honest profile. People who look to hire freelancers are usually very specific in what they want done. When searching for someone to do their work they scan hundreds of profiles before selecting the right freelancer.

If your profile is sparse and doesn’t spell out what your skills are, they’ll move on to the next guy.

Now, I realize you might not like to take tests. But if you want to get more responses – and more jobs – you have to take their online tests. Think of it as a ratings booster for your profile.

A few years ago, when I first started freelancing with Upwork, I struggled with my pricing. I had no idea how much to charge for the website management service I provided. Thanks to the Upwork Community I was able to figure out a competitive price that got me enough jobs to pay the bills…every month 🙂

What About Fiverr ?

Fiverr is a bit different than Upwork. You can make a lot of money, $5.00 at a time, selling almost any skill.

And believe me, when I say almost any skill I mean selling diet plans, doing 1 minute commercial spots dressed in a bear suit, even using social media to boost the appearance of a blog’s popularity.

But Fiverr isn’t all about crazy, kooky gigs.

People can make serious money writing resumes, creating logos, and market research. Browse through Fiverr’s home page, you’ll see the trending gigs range from voice over work, icon design, and even blog post creation.
